Intake Manifold Heat Shield Question
Well guys, today I had one of those aww $#&% moments...
I am in the process of a swap from the Crossfire FI to a carb in my 82 T/A. I had removed the heat shield that's attached to the bottom of the intake manifold to clean it. I got everything assembled and ready to go. As I was cleaning up my tools and whatnot, I found the heat shield laying on the floor.
I know it was obviously put there for a reason...my question is....what are the consequences if I don't re-install it? Or should I tear everything apart again just to install it?
Thanks,
Joe
